How were those numbers estimated? To go with adventured's proposal that Germany replace half of its coal power with LNG, Germany generated 284 TWh from coal in 2013. Producing 142 TWh from gas would require about 25 million tons per annum of gas (assuming 490 g CO2/kWh from gas generation in CCGT, per IPCC 2014, and working backward from CO2 to CH4 -- 178 kg of methane per MWh). The US is already expected to add 66 MTPA of LNG export capacity by 2019: http://analysis.petchem-update.com/supply-chain-logistics/us... Were you perhaps estimating the numbers to replace all of Europe's thermal coal consumption? |
